Daily Walk: Artistic Walk in 10 Pictures

We have been itching to get out for some long daily walks and the weather this past weekend was another teaser of what we can expect. We also wanted to get the pooches out to show off our new collar and leashes from Sirius Republic.
Ms. M was so excited by her new swag, that she was constantly on the lookout for people to compliment her new matching collar and leash.
 While Mr. B's leash was just as stylish...he just wanted to go on our walk.
Though he did pose for the camera when asked.
We got a new DSLR camera that we are still learning how to use. Here is a test shot of Ms. M.
This one of Mr. B came out better.
Ms. M is exhausted after her afternoon photo shoot on the ledge, but she was a trooper and continued to strike a pose.
After this picture, Ms. M berated Mr. B--ala the infamous Christian Bale incident-- when his ear ruined her perfect shot.
Eventually she calmed down and posed like the diva that she is.

    We're cracking up because we remember your post a while back when you spoke all about the pups' collar/leash systems! Now they have another collar! At least its a Sirius Republic. We LOVE their stuff! More importantly, you were the ones who made us go to 20 stores to find the perfect collars, because you're right - its the one thing theyll always have. Miss M is the ultimate diva - we love her!

    Is Ms. M 100% Pibble? I think she has a touch of boxer. She has that boxer underbite. Not that it truly matters because they are too stinkin' cute!!

    Love the pictures! Miss M and Darwin have matchy collars! Love it!
    Did Mr B get a collar that matched his leash?

    Love the new gear! If you ever want a recommendation for a basic SLR class, I know of a great program here in Chicago.

    Oh, I dunno. I thinks Mr. B's ear in that shot just adds an extra air (ear?) of mystery! Those were some super terrific pictures. My mom's been talking about getting one of those DSLR camera thingies. But maybe she'll forget about it.

    We ended up getting the new Nikon: the Nikon D7000. I'm still learning how to use it, so you may be seeing a lot of test pictures.

    Heartbeats: We definitely see a lot of Boxer in Miss M, and some people even think she's all Boxer. I think she's some kind of mix: Boxer, American Bulldog, Pittie, but since she's filled out, and in the colder weather, she looks more Boxer. In the warmer weather her face stretches out and she looks more American Bulldog. She's still too small to be mainly American Bulldog. The pound thought she was a Boxer-Pit.

    *snicker* Miss M, if it makes you feel better, Bunny suffers through similar insults of Shepherd ears in her glamor shots!

    I also like E's gloves!

    You should get Miss. M DNA tested! I think it is really fun- Bruno turned out to have a dalmation grandparent and a poodle grandparent! You never know what is mixed in with these pibble-mutts so it can be fun.
    Also- love the photo shoot :)

    BAH!! Too funny "Christian Bale style"...I'll have to use that one. Poor Mr B!

    That was a very stylish, artistic walk and you captured some lovely pics. Maybe some for an album or for framing? Congrats on the new camera. I've been dropping hints to Matty for a nice one, but I'm not sure if he's picked up on my hints. Fingers crossed :)

    Also - LOVE the gloves the Mr is wearing. I would buy a pair of those in a heartbeat!
